On today's episode, we'll talk about cyclical living

If our body is wise enough to know what to eat, when to eat and how to eat... what else can it do for us?

What else can we learn from our womanly body?

According to a studyfrom the Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics, fluctuations of hormones over the monthly menstrual cycle play a crucial role in our emotional status, appetite, thought processes, and so much more. Women reported high levels of well-being and self-esteem during the middle of the cycle in the study. Increased feelings of anxiety, hostility, and depression were reported before their period.

Cyclical Living

Our egg wisdom is perhaps for us women another expression of our innate body wisdom. When I say egg wisdom, I’m referring to the wisdom of our female cycle. This wisdom that is our female cycle is wise enough to create life from… an egg and a sperm. What else can it do for us?

Over the last year, I became really acquainted with my female cycle and discovered a whole new world of intuition. The more I got familiar with how my body spoke to me through my cycle the more I realized that this is the extension of intuitive eating and also body neutrality.

Body Neutrality & Cycle Synching

Body neutralityteaches us to engage with our body as a whole and be grateful for all that it does for us... to care for our body. To build a relationship of trust and respect with our body and for all that it does for us.

As women, having a relationship with our cycle is part of body neutrality. Cycling is an exponential opportunity for us to connect with our body at a much deeper level. It’s no secret that at different stages of our cycle, we look, feel, and act differently. Observing our cycles and all that it creates in our bodies allows us to gather information and fully comprehend how symbiotic we are as women.

Intuitive Eating & Cyclical Living

Intuitive eatingrequires us to shift from external cues to internal cues when it comes to eating and health. To eat intuitively, we need to be able to connect with our innate body wisdom just like with cyclical living.

Intuitive eating teaches us that we have this innate ability to know how to nourish our bodies via our intuition... what else can we learn from our intuitive food decision?

In my opinion, there’s a deep connection between cyclical living and intuitive eating.

The stepping stone to eating intuitively is to develop interoception, this ability to feel and tap into our internal body cues. In the case of intuitive eating, these cues are hunger, fullness,and satisfaction. Practicing cyclical living will enhance your ability to be an intuitive eater.

On today’s episode, Kate Northrup, an entrepreneur, bestselling author, speaker, and mother is going to teach us how to tap into the wisdom of our cycle to do less and improve our self-worth.

Kate has built a digital empire and is committed to supporting ambitious women to light up the world without burning themselves out in the process.

On today's episode, we'll talk about the BE DO HAVE formula for success

That you want to change your health habits, stop overeating or make peace with your body, HOW you go about the process of transformation will determine your success.

The process that most of us have been thought to apply when wanting to create something new in our life has been the DO HAVE BE model.

In order to BE successful, for example, we need to first DO the things that HAVE the Success. When we DO enough of the “things, we hope to be rewarded by finally BEING successful.

DO BE HAVE in health transformation

Take the example of the goal of being happy & healthy for women in today’s society. We are taught that in order for us, women to be happy and healthy, must HAVE thinness. We must fit in the proper BMI and have the “normal thin” body. In order for us to have the thin & a proper BMI body, we must DO diets (control food and / or exercise). When we have thinness and proper BMI, we will be rewarded by being healthy and happy.

Normal right? Perhaps normal to society standards but not right.

The problem is that it doesn’t work... I mean 95% of diets fail and dieters regain the weight which means that 95% of the population doesn’t have access to health and happiness?

DO HAVE BE keeps us stuck

That model DO HAVE BE keeps us stuck in a state of depression, fear, guilt, and shame which leads us straight to a repeated cycle of failure. The results are that we are forever chasing health and happiness, but never getting “there”.

You’ve been there and perhaps are still there. I know I was for nearly 25 years. Stuck in a forever state of personal failure when it came to my weight, body, and food habits. But it wasn’t my fault just like it’s not yours either.

I was never taught how to actually create personal success in my life. I knew how to create success when it came to business and money but not personal behaviors.

BE DO HAVE model is the solution

To be successful with human personal transformation, we must instead apply the Be Do Have model. What is the difference between DO HAVE BE versus DO BE HAVE?

In order to HAVE what you want, something that you currently do not have, you are going to have to do things you haven’t done before. You're going to have to do things differently. In order to DO the things you haven’t done before, you are going to have to BE someone you haven’t been before.

In this podcast episode, we will teach the most effective way of making changes in your health: The Be Do Have formula.

On today's episode, we'll talk about the perfectionist paradigm shift

Do you struggle in creating new long-lasting habits in your life? Particularly around food and health?

Maybe it’s exercise: you pay your new subscription to the gym with excitement and enthusiasm and plan to go 5 days a week before work.

Yet 6 weeks later, you’re not going to the gym anymore and your brain is going crazy with very self-critical thoughts as to why you once again failed yourself and all the things that are wrong with you.

Is that you? That was me until I learned to shift my paradigm about perfection.

Perfectionist, is that you?

The perfectionist is a personality trait characterized by a person's striving for flawlessness and setting high-performance standards, accompanied by critical self-evaluations and concerns regarding others' evaluations.

Is that an accurate description of you?

Perfectionism is a trait of character present in many women that have been dieting for a long time. Our diet brain tells us that we need to be perfect at food & exercise if we hope to ever change our body... and diets reinforce this need for perfection via their food rules and need to be “on plan” all the time.

Worse, when we fail to achieve our diet goals, guess whose fault is it? Ours. The reason diet culture gives is that we are flawed... and if we were good enough aka had more discipline, it would have worked for us. So, we keep striving to be better and attempt to offset our flaw with a burning desire to be perfect.

Perfectionism and Habit Creation

The problem with perfectionist fantasy is that we set ourselves up for failure, which results in a lack of integrity with ourselves.

And we feel bad about that, too! Not only are we flawed for not being able to diet successfully, but now we can’t even trust ourselves. So, we fantasize even more about our perfect meal plan and exercise regimen and hope that tomorrow will be the right day.

The problem is that in order to be able to create consistent long-term habits, we need to trust and believe in ourselves. We need to be able to start small to be able to grow big but diet brain hates that!

Minimum Baseline

Minimum baseline is the anti-dote to perfection.

It is how you can recover from perfectionism and diet brain all in one.

Minimum baseline is how you will repair your integrity with yourself and begin a trustworthy relationship with YOU.

Minimum baseline is simple... too simple for our perfectionistic brain. It will be hard to manage your mind and all the self-critical thoughts that will come along.

In this episode, I teach you how to use the model of minimum baseline to successfully create new habits in your life when you have a diet brain! This model will shift your paradigm about needing to be perfect!

On today's episode, we'll talk about stepping beyond the struggle

In a way, this podcast is not just a message to those of you who are struggling, but it’s also a message to my former self.

It’s the advice I wish someone shared with me when I was struggling.

It’s the advice I wish I had when I went through so many dark times.

My struggle was my weight. Like most of you... for 25 years, that struggle occupied my life. It caused me lots of emotional pain, physical pain with crazy exercise protocols, tears, break up, missed relationship, the struggle of my body and weight caused a lot of drama in my life.

And for 25 years, I believed that the only way to stop the struggle to get over that pain was to lose weight.

Some say... but you did lose weight.

Yes, I did multiple times but here’s where it gets really crazy... when I did lose weight, you’d think struggle would be over right?

No, it didn’t. Instead, I just moved on to the next expression of the problem: saggy skin, soft skin on my belly, I'm still not thin enough for a partner to desire my body...

I was addicted to the weight problem... I was addicted to the drama it created in my life.

So, what did I do to step beyond the struggle? That what we will explore in today’s podcast.

What is Diet Brain and how it plays within your struggle

How we get addicted to the problem at the center of our struggle

The importance of your mind in stepping beyond the struggle

How to step beyond the struggle

F: How does this thinking make me feel?

A: How am I reacting (or wanting to react) behaviorally to this experience? What will be my new way of thinking about this trigger? New thinking, new choices, new decision.

On today's episode, we'll talk about what's missing from your program

As I shared on the last episode #200, we are in the midst of an epidemic and no, it’s not an obesity epidemic.

It’s the Diet Culture epidemic.

It has become completely normal to not like our body. It’s expected that we shame ourselves and our body if it doesn’t fit the “thin ideal”.

It has also become the norm to be on some kind of health programs that restrict the way we live our life. These same programs require that we disconnect from our body in order to be successful.

This has led us to no longer respect and trust our bodies. This is huge!

We live in an approximately 3 cubic foot space (our physical body) that we disrespect & doubt nearly every day. Without a healthy, respectful and trustworthy relationship, how can we expect our body to support us towards our goals?

There is one universal law that is common to all religions and spiritual beliefs that I’m aware of (and please correct me if I’m wrong😀): Love is always the answer.

In this episode, we dive deeper in what’s missing from your program and provide you with solution to fill the gap!

What you’ll learn listening to this episode:

Why it has become completely normal to ignore these 2 ”things” from nearly all health programs

We are in the middle of an epidemic. One that is destroying the quality and longevity of our life.

It affects not only us but our children and their children.

While it’s been around for a while, it’s growing at an alarming rate. Not only here… but all around the world. You’d be hard-pressed to find a culture that isn’t struggling with it.

and no, it’s not Obesity. It’s our obsession with weight and diet.

97% of women surveyed by Glamour magazine in 2011 said they felt hatred towards their body at least 1x day and often much more.

8/10 women are unhappy with their reflection.

So we diet... and diet some more. Never really getting “there” and then at some point after decades of trying you think to yourself…

“That’s crazy I can’t do this for the rest of my life?” but then what?

There is a solution to help you stop dieting, a solution that will provide some structure around how you engage with food that will lead you to eat better consistently without restricting or being on a diet.

That solution is Intuitive Eating.

On today's episode, we dissect this concept of food labeling

Although we’ve learned to drop magical thinking when it comes to weather, crops or other natural phenomena, we still think of food as magical.

We label food in hopes that doing so will bring us closer to our desires and goals. The concept is that if we consume the “good” food will control our health and body unfortunately what comes along is shame & guilt when we do eat the “bad” food.

In today’s society not being able to control our food choices makes us weak people. That’s what we think as a result of being told so by diet culture and also according to all the health experts who want us to finally “release the unhealthy weight”.

But it’s true that there is such a thing as good food or bad food? If so, what are the healthy foods?

Here’s a sample of the myths we will cover:

What are the good and bad foods

Why are we so obsessed with food labeling

What motivates our need for food labeling

On today's episode, we talk about intuitive voice

In the same way that Intuitive Eating teaches you to tap into your innate body wisdom to know what to eat, you can tap into this same body wisdom to be guided in all the other segments of your life.

The body wisdom we’ve been gifted by embodying our human body is awaiting us to notice her and engage with her with trust and respect.

Some will call this body wisdom intuition others will say inner voice... all the same.

When we do not engage and respect this wisdom, we tend to be engaged in perfectionism as a way to control life... control our life, control our future, control our body. Control so it can be the way it should be.

But it doesn’t work... and we try harder. Control more. And we fail harder.

On today’s episode, Kelly Covert, an inner voice coach will help us interrupt this pattern. Kelly has a passion for helping women believe and achieve their big vision by connecting deeply with the wisdom that is inside of them all while owning their worthiness each and every day.

Usually around April, we start hearing about “getting that bikini body” like it’s a thing we need to earn. After months of hibernation we are supposed to dust ourselves off and work really really hard to get a body that deserves to wear a bathing suit.

The truth I discovered through my own journey is that being confident in a bathing suit doesn’t require months of planning and buckets of sweat aren’t required.

We don’t have to earn the right to wear our bathing suit in public... we already have it. I just needed to find it!

So if you are struggling with enjoying the summer water because of how you feel in your bathing suit and perhaps wearing the bathing suit at all... you’ll want to listen to this!

On the episode today, I’ll share the 7 lessons I learned while getting back my confidence in a bathing suit and the exact steps I took.

Here’s a very powerful quote from Lindsay Kites from Beauty Redefined

“We don’t hate our bodies because they don’t look good enough, but because they’ve learned looks are all that matter." - Lindsay Kites, PhD.

And that ladies it the real issue we need to own up too when it comes to bathing suit confidence!

What you’ll learn listening to this episode:

You don’t need to earn the right to wear the dang bathing suit.

Wearing a bathing suit is simply practicality.

You can’t fool anyone…

Getting the right bathing for you makes all the difference.

Practice… yup, walk around the house with the dang thing on!

Pick your environment for your coming out party.

Invest in a good cover up.

“...but my priority is my family right now. I don’t have the time to do this work right now or to participate.”

We did a survey few months ago and asked our community members what is holding them back from doing the “work” meaning healing their relationship to food & body. People pleasing came in the top 3... specifically #2 . These are the women who knew they had people pleasing behaviors.

The funny thing is that the #1 reason holding back women from healing their relationship to food and body was: “I need to lose weight. I can’t bear being in this body right now. Got to fix that first before doing mindset work”. I say funny because that #1 reason is: people pleasing “in hiding”.

So people pleasing is a huge theme in our community! That’s what we are going to deep dive on this episode.

Our guest today is Sasha Heinz, PhD and a developmental psychologist. She is an expert in positive psychology, lasting behavioral change, and the science of getting unstuck.

She’s a working mom, she’s lived life on the front line of the battle with perfectionism. So, she is going to help us with that.

Is it possible to lose weight in a healthy way?

When is gaining weight enough when I try to eat intuitively?

Is it wrong to still want to lose weight? I just want because I don’t feel comfortable in my actual one?

These are all super good questions and so valid considering the society we live in. We are surrounded by messages that we should want to lose weight and that we should aim to be in a smaller body. We have been taught from a very young age that:

Health = Thinness

Happiness = Thinner body

That if we aren’t in society standards in our body size, we should be actively working really hard on getting “there” (aka smaller body)

If the diet doesn’t work, it’s not the diet’s fault rather it’s our fault. We haven’t tried hard enough, exercised enough, or have enough will power, etc...

The desire to lose weight is completely and 100% normal.

Many of you know through your own experience that the proposed weight loss approach isn’t working so you are looking for an option, a healthy one.

I wanted to lose weight so that I could be more self-confident.

95% of the women I work with want to or did want to lose weight so that they can be more confident.

We are taught by society that if we are thin, we will automatically be confident and ultimately happy.

Yet we lose the weight and we aren’t happier. We still don’t feel confident as we should. Then we regain the weight because, spoiler alert, diet doesn’t work long term. That’s until we repeat the cycle again looking for that “confidence”.

How many times do we have to repeat the cycle to see that confidence isn’t an external thing?? I did it for 25 years. You?

Only 4% of women will call themselves beautiful.

That statistics just broke my heart... The truth is I was part of that 96% not finding themselves beautiful for most of my life. To be real it’s almost an act of courage to accept your body in today’s world.

One of the most powerful agents in liberating myself from body shaming has been the studying of the concept of patriarchal beauty standard. The historical and economic reasons behind where we are with women’s body expectations in the year 2000. Fascinating and liberating experience and that’s what I want to share with you today.

On today's episode, we talk about Healing Body Image with Photography

Do you struggle with seeing pictures of you?

Avoid them altogether maybe?

For all of us women who have struggled with body image, taming our self-image via observing our reflection on picture is a very important step in the process of healing body image. Taking pictures of ourselves and choosing compassion over self-critique is key.

On today’s episode, we are joined with a professional photographer who is using photography to heal her own body image struggle and the one of her clients in amazing body love photoshoots.

Our guest today is Ashley, a professional photographer from Toronto, Canada. Her work has been published in nationwide campaigns with international brands such as Air Miles, Mattel, and Bluenotes.

Ashley has also co-founded GRLCHILL which is a passion project about friendship, self-love, and womanhood.

What you’ll learn listening to this episode:

How to harness the power of photography to move forward with healing your body image struggle

How to coach yourself into confidence before taking a picture of yourself

Tips on how to take selfies in a powerful and authentic way and tame your self-reflection

Why family photos are so important and how to overcome the fear of taking them

The power of friendship in your journey towards self-acceptance

Ashley’s tips for getting in the mood to embrace your beauty

Everyone loves taking a selfie when you’re feeling yourself, but what about when you don’t? Here are a few tips on how to get on that vibe:

Find a few minutes and throw on your favorite song and just shut your eyes and let the moment take you. Jump, dance and sing your heart out. Nothing will make you feel sexier and empowered than moving to your power tune. Put on something you feel sexy and confident in and just have some fun taking some photos of yourself.

Run your photo through a quick app to correct any colors that are off or play with some fun filters. You won’t find any Facetune over here. Some apps I like using when I don’t have my computer are: A Color Story, VSCO, and Lightroom CC Mobile. All of them are user-friendly and provide some great filter options to play with.

Take your photo for no one other than yourself. As much as likes and comments make you feel good, take a photo to document YOU in this very moment. Having photos to look back on as we age and change will remind

On today's episode, we discover why I quit Keto

I’ve been avoiding recording this episode for nearly 2 years. I’ve been scared of the consequences, hesitated by fear of backlash, started recording it and stopped so many times. Something happened this week that triggered me to finally record this episode... It wasn’t just about me anymore. This episode needed to be recorded for you-the listeners, my clients, my patients and my students.

And today, I’m officially making it public: I’m calling it quits with keto and sharing the reasons that led me to make this choice.

This is not the type of quitting after just a few months of being keto or because I didn’t lose weight. This shift is way beyond this... I wrote a book about the ketogenic diet, lectured at professional conferences about keto, studied and researched ketosis and ultimately created an entire program about keto “The Keto Connector”. I was an expert on the ketogenic diet before keto became popular... so this is significant for me professionally and personally.

Are you at a “fork” in the road?

You know something needs to change... must change... has to change. You get the feeling that if you don’t make a choice now, life will make one for you.

For some, it’s an acute life event that forces them into making a choice... for me, it was collapsing on stage.

For other women, their body wisdom takes care of creating this fork in the road with aging and hormones. It’s called menopause. It’s the natural process that moves us from motherhood to coming of wisdom. Coming back to being “just” a woman... no longer the nurturer or caregiver. For many, that’s a hard transition.

In today’s episode, Sheree Clark talks about turning midlife crisis into mid-life awakening. Sheree will help you create a vision for your fork in the road creating opportunities for growth, fun, and achievement.

I'll share with you my personal journey with exercise, fitness and sports...and it’s been a wild ride.

Just like most of you, ladies that have a journey of dieting, exercise has been part of my life in a “not so fun way”... never willingly and because I desired to exercise rather because I HAD TO kind ofway: to burn calories, to burn fat, or to punish myself for cheating on my diet and mostly because I needed to alter my body composition, ....

The result of this wild ride is trauma. As my mentor in trauma, Irene Lyon taught me “Trauma is in your nervous system not in the event”. I now can see it in most of my students too. We know we have to but for some “unexplainable” reason we can’t bring ourselves to do it. That “unexplainable” reason is trauma... it’s your nervous system protecting you from what has been in the past a very bad experience.

In fact, trauma can be healed. So does your relationship to exercise. With a load of compassion, acceptance and love, we can fall back in love with moving our body. Slowly & gently healing happens.

That’s SHE’s Beyond The Food Chapter 2.

What you'll learn listening to this episode:

Why ‘no pain no gain’ exercise is more detrimental than beneficial

What is trauma and how to determine if you have a traumatic relationship to exercise

That’s the one question I get and yes...

that’s a very valid question, and to be honest, a very good starting point for us to have a very powerful conversation.

We’ve been trained for years via diet culture to seek a solution to our food, weight and body issues with food and exercise. If we whip in shape our physical body, we will get result. Get thinner... and then, we’ll be happy and healthy.

yet it doesn’t work. We know that and hence why you and I are here...

Why doesn’t it work... because our relationship with food and body doesn’t stem from our physical body, rather it shows up in our physical body. It originates from our mind, emotions, and spirit.

That’s what I’ve found through my own struggle and later on what my training and education has taught me. The 4 layers of the human being is what we address in the Going Beyond the Food Method. It stems from a very old body of work - Holistic health.

In today’s episode, will deep dive into the emotional body particularly with Dr. Joan Rosenberg.

Finally, show 181 we’ll talk about a unique aspect of human that has a tremendous impact on why we urge to eat or self-destruct via body shaming: our nervous system with our resident expert, Irene Lyon.

In this episode I discuss

The role of the Emotional Body in relation to the holistic health model

The real purpose of our emotions

How having emotional strength is part of confidence, too: Developing emotional strength

Last episode was an interview with Dr. Michelle Sands and she talked about the role of the physical body in relation to the holistic health model.

She also shared her view why we cannot separate each of the 4 bodies from each other and the impact of menopause and perimenopause to women’s body’s overall health.

Finally, she detailed why suffering is optional when dealing with perimenopause and menopause and how the Physical Body plays as a vehicle to making peace with food and body. Click here!

To answer these 2 questions, we must first recognize that for most of us, women, we’ve been trained since a young age via Diet Culture to seek a diet solution to our “food issues, weight and body” within the constraints of our physical body. The solution being to a-beat our body into shape and b-restrict our food. Ultimately, we’ve been deeply trained to believe that getting a thinner physical body would bring us health and happiness.

Yet it doesn’t work. We know that and hence why you and I are here...

Why doesn’t it work? Because our relationship to food and body doesn’t stem only from our physical body. Our desire to eat and shame ourselves originate from our mind, emotions, and spirit.

That’s what I’ve found through my own struggle and later on what my training and education have taught me. The 4 layers of the human being are what we address in the Going Beyond The Food Method. It stems from a very old body of works in Holistic health.

That’s what we will dive into today... We first going to talk about Mental body. Episodes 178-179-180 will address the other 4 bodies and 181 will talk about a unique aspect of human that has a tremendous impact our why we urge to eat or self-destruct via body shaming: our nervous system.

Let’s start today by exploring the mental body and its impact on the way we engage with food and body.

In this episode I discuss

The Mental Body: It's impact on the way we engage with food and our body

The reason why individuals develop eating disorder

The process on how to come back to ourselves from our false selves

What feel to heal means in relation to how you engage with food and your body

Last episode was an interview with a another holistic nutritionist who has a unique way of looking into meeting our daily needs.

That’s what Rachel Molenda refers to as filling your cup. Rachel inspires women to take action to meet their daily needs so that they don’t use food to fill the lack of self-care.

Rachel will inspire you in this episode by sharing how prioritizing your needs is instrumental to showing up the best version of you. Click here!

What "fill your cup" really means

The real reason why you should keep your cup full

How the "fill your cup" philosophy can be an instrument to developing intuitive eating

Last episode I talked about the elephant in the room... yes, I talked about weight loss. If you're one of those women who wanna lose weight, you are not alone. I was there for many years along with millions of other women just like you.

The truth is 91% of women are unhappy about their body and seek weight loss as a solution.It’s a basic human need to be accepted by our tribe and peers, therefore to be “normal”.

All we want to be “normal”, we want to be confident in our body and image. We are ready to do what needs to get done to feel “normal” in our body. For most of us in this community, this desire to be “normal weight” has gone one of two ways: we did lose weight at some point but it didn’t “stick” OR we haven’t yet attempted to lose weight because we are so afraid of failure and change.

Do you want to lose weight?

If so, you are not alone. I was there for many years along with millions of other women just like you.

The truth is 91% of women are unhappy about their body and seek weight loss as a solution.

First, let’s level up on one fundamental point: No one wakes up one morning wanting to be fat, carry extra weight or not be able to lose weight.

It’s a basic human need to be accepted by our tribe and peers, therefore to be “normal”.

All we want to be “normal”, we want to be confident in our body and image. We are ready to do, what needs to get done to feel “normal” in our body.

Do you let your past failure define your today?

Perhaps you think you are limited in your future possibilities because of your past failure?

“I have tried so many diets and programs and failed; that I can't bear to go to my husband with another program, especially one that costs $800+. I simply can't go to my husband with yet another "magical pill" .... he won't understand; even if we could afford it." - Going Beyond The Food Academy scholarship applicant

This type of message is unfortunately very frequent when we open our scholarship program. It saddens me because so many of us let our past define who we can be in the future.

The truth is...

You are not the choices you’ve made.

You are not the child you once were.

No, you are not your failed marriage.

You are not the setbacks of yesterday.

Neither you are the bad things that have happened to you.

You can be that woman that wakes up tomorrow morning and that say I’m not doing this anymore…

I’m going to figure this out.

I’ll do this by my morale, my value. I’m going to be honest with myself.

Because I decided that this is me.

And because I decided I'm NOT my past!

You are the person who LEARNS from a great deal of her past experiences.

And because you are processing these experiences correctly, you’ll have the happier life, the health and the confidence to achieve what you want.

That’s what this episode is about... I’ll share with you the process that I use to NOT be my past!

Are you a type A- achieving women, successful in many aspects of their life: career, family, finances but they don’t feel as successful in one area of their life: food & body?

If that’s you, this episode is a MUST-listen. Susan is just like you and she shares her journey. Her journey to find peace with food and body using the Going Beyond The Food Method.

The Going Beyond The Food Method is designed to help women 40+ that are successful in their career, family and finance but feel unsuccessful with their body and weight remove the emotional blocks that keep them stuck: tunnel approach to their weight via diets and exercise, negative thoughts patterns towards their body, and low self-esteem finally stop sabotaging with food and engage with their body from a place of compassion so that they can be at peace and live fulfilling life right now!

What I’ve found over the years is that most women that are successful in most aspects of their lives except their body feel like they’ll never be able to lose weight. They’ve tried everything: all the diets, over exercising, personal trainers and nothing works. Frustrated, so they end up self-sabotaging with food in secret as a way to manage their feeling of guilt.

What they really want is to feel confident and healthy in their body, to be free from food obsession and live life on purpose and satisfied but most of them are stuck and feel ashamed.

So the mistake they make is that they attempt to control what they eat in hopes to finally lose the weight. They end up dieting and restricting even more which feels like self-punishment and self-loathing (brute force) themselves as a way to motivate themselves.

When in reality, what they only need to do is to remove the emotional blocks of self-loathing and worthiness that keep them feeling stuck: feeling worthiness and self-loathing and engage with body from a place of compassion instead judgment and finally stop sabotaging with food.

In this episode I discuss

Last episode was an interview with Molly Bahr, a Health At Every Size expert. She talked about the act of dieting as the greatest predictor of weight gain.

Most of us know diets have failed us and continue to fail us. The older we get, the worse it gets… it’s not just failing us physically on the scale but also emotionally and mentally. In fact, the side effect of food and exercise obsession is leaving us feeling overwhelmed, stressed and terribly anxious.

We want to be confident and healthy but we know diets don’t work… but we feel we have no other choice. Right??

We want to be confident and healthy but we know diets don’t work... but we feel we have no other choice. Right??

Yup... and now enter Health At Every Size. A movement and scientific approach to health that isn’t focused on weight but instead what really drives health in humans.

In this interview, Molly Bahr takes us through the Health At Every size basic principles.

In this episode I discuss

What is HAES: Health At Every Size 101

The collateral damage of dieting

'What Conventional Health Books Get Wrong, Leave Out, and Just Plain Fail to Understand about Weight'

Last episode I shared my interview with one of the graduates of the Fall 2018 Going Beyond the Food Academy. It was a vulnerable one as she shared her personal journey going beyond the food and transforming her relationship to food and her body.

Indeed, her inspirational story proved that the journey to body confidence and peace with food and body image is possible and quickly achievable if you...

If you get committed and invest in yourself!

For Erin, the transformation led her to have peace of mind and body confidence... and yes, peace with food. She is now on her way to healing other parts of her life seeking the next best version of herself. Learn more about her story through this interview episode. Click here!

Erin's inspirational journey Going Beyond the Food

What's on the other side of taking this journey of undieting your life and Going Beyond the Food

The possibilities of tweaking your relationship to food and to your body from a place of peace, love and compassion

Last episode I talked about how we set goals for the year in the Going Beyond the Food Academy. And yes, we do it differently... probably something you're never head before. In fact, we don’t seek weight loss, more money or a new house... Instead, we chase how we think we’re going to feel when we “get there”. We chase our Desired Feelings... because what’s really behind all “regular goals” is wanting to feel a certain way... We chase weight loss to be accepted, to be beautiful in the eyes of others, to not feel marginalized by society, to feel sexy.

I also explained the difference between motivation and inspiration and my top 3 tips to bring inspiration into your life and to hold the vision all year.

That’s one of the top 3 questions I get on open forums. Along with how to be consistent and how can I lose weight (I never answer this one anymore!).

We think that we can delay accepting our body until we get our relationship to food OK.
Most of us are ready to do the work with our emotions but when it comes to doing the work with our body image... we resist. And we resist hard!
The truth is Body Acceptance is the must-have to make peace with food. More than a must-have, it’s essential.

Surviving the holidays can be tough. Thriving in the holiday nearly impossible for some.

Perhaps the holiday period is causing you more anxiety than pleasure. The anticipation of seeing certain family members might be causing you to be in an emotional eating rollercoaster.

Perhaps the business of it all drives you to completely forget about yourself and by the time you get to Christmas, you’re completely exhausted and completely lost control on any healthy habits you might have in place just a few weeks before.

The Beyond The Food Holiday Survival guide will move you from self-destructing eating habits during the holiday to thriving and loving the holidays altogether!

and Yes, it’s possible...

As with anything we teach here, a few tweaks in your mindset and how you approach certain situation or event will be needed to move from shriveling at the idea to anticipating the holiday with excitement.

In this episode I discuss

The #1 cause of emotional eating loop

My personal advice on how you engage with food and weight during the holidays

How to deal with negative family members

Last episode, I shared why smart women don't diet and what they do instead. I know exactly based on my personal experience... after 27 years of dieting, I’m clear on one thing… diets don’t work. We think that a “thin” body is going to unlock our happiness, our acceptance, our joy.

The stats are clear...

91% of all women are unhappy about their body and resort to dieting.

And 95% of all dieters regain their all weight within 1-5 years.

Yet we keep dieting. We keep hating our body. We keep judging ourselves for our inability to be in freaking control… yet neuroscience is clear: WILLPOWER is a limited resource.

Smart women don’t diet... they do THIS instead.

After 27 years of dieting, I’m clear on one thing… diets don’t work.

91% of all women are unhappy about their body and resort to dieting.

We think that a “thin” body is going to unlock our happiness, our acceptance, our joy.

And 95% of all dieters regain their all weight within 1-5 years.

Yet we keep dieting. We keep hating our body. We keep judging ourselves for our inability to be in freaking control… yet neuroscience is clear: WILLPOWER is a limited resource.

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."- Albert Einstein

The question is… are you?

After making peace with food and my body by going beyond the food as a nutritionist and looking at what was really driving our desire to eat and judge our body, today, I help women do one thing: Transform your relationship to food and body so you can….

*FEEL BETTER about YOUR body as it is today without having to lose anything.

*BE HEALTHIER in your body and mind as you make aligned choices. *Finally no longer being controlled by food instead, having the power to say yes or no.

*Being able to release the emotional blocks that keep you stuck.

*Be at peace with your body, eating and most importantly, yourself so you can be happy NOW… not conditional to losing something.

If you’re not sure if you need more peace around food or your body OR if you are the right fit for the food freedom challenge, I have the perfect thing for you…

Today, we are going to find out how you fare on the scale of food freedom (10 questions only). Are you “normal eater” and have no emotional attachment or control issue with food? Or are you a woman that is being controlled by food?

… And worst-case scenario, you’ll spend 90 seconds seeing what could be possible for you that maybe you aren’t ready for in your life or maybe you’ll have a realization that what you thought was a healthy relationship to food isn’t?

Who knows what will be the outcome of this 90 secs assessment score?!?!

In this episode I discuss

The real reason why smart women don't diet

Why I don't talk about weight loss and my programs are not designed

Why your intention is key in changing the way you eat

The truth about why diets don't work

Last episode, I talked about the "All or Nothing Mindset" trap. This absolutist thinking is one of the most common denominators in our Going Beyond The Food community. It’s the source of many emotional eating loops, overeating weekends and restricted food binges.

In fact, this all or nothing mindset is a negative thought process also known as cognitive distortion. Everything- from food to your views of yourself to professional life– is divided into black or white terms. Everything is either success or failure.

So, this episode focused on defining this mindset and providing you with a step-by-step solution to the "black or white" mentality.

Absolutist thinking is one of the most common denominators in our Going Beyond The Food community. It’s the source of many emotional eating loops, overeating weekends and restricted food binges.

The truth is the all or nothing mindset is a negative thought process also known as cognitive distortion. Everything- from food to your views of yourself to professional life– is divided into black or white terms. Everything is either success or failure.

The consequences of this way of engaging with food and, quite frankly, life are anxiety, stress, self-doubt, low self-esteem, feeling of failure and shame and long-term distorted relationship to food. Most critical, it affects our ability to have a healthy and balanced life experience.

To add fuel to the fire, the fact is that diets are built around the all or nothing framework. We start the diet, we restrict food and it works until it doesn’t. Then, we try harder and feel that we need to be 100% to get results… we feel deprived… we cave in having “bad food” … as a result, we feel ashamed of ourselves… and it goes on and on.

The Solution to the "All or Nothing Mindset"

The solution is to learn to live in the grey… to separate your self-worth with how you engage with food or your weight. You are so much more than the way you eat or what you weigh.

Step 1

The first step, instead of trying to suppress your hunger and cravings, seek to understand why you desire to eat. Shift the focus from bad and good to compassion and acceptance.

Step 2

The second step is to learn to manage your emotions with something else than food. We teach using your breath (The Crave Cure Formula) to ride the wave of your emotions. Some use tapping… many other solutions... just got to program your subconscious mind to seek something else than food.

Final Step

The last step is to tap into your intuition to know what to know, what to eat instead of diet rules. We call this intuitive eating, your internal nutritionist. Yes, every human was given one at birth!

I used to be the Queen of “All or Nothing”… extreme in everything. At 36 years old, it came to end. My body couldn’t take the stress anymore and shut down. That’s why I’m so passionate about my work and what I teach.

In this episode I discuss

The truth about the 'all or nothing' mindset

The real consequence of the absolutist thinking to the women of the Beyond the Food community

The solution to the 'black or white' mentality

Last episode, we answered a number of questions about sugar addiction with Bitten Jonsson, RN and ADDIS/SUGAR Certified and a Sugar Addiction Specialist. I also gave her carte blanche to use my own assessment to explain and help you understand addiction.

In this episode, I also shared my personal take on the labeling of 'addict' and how I view my addictive behaviors which paved the way for the creation of the Going Beyond The Food Method. The Going Beyond The Food Method was born from me hitting rock bottom and seeing the story repeating itself in my patients. It's about shining the light on your possibilities by acknowledging and having compassion for your darkness.

The Going Beyond The Food Method is what healed my sugar addiction at 38 years old. But it also what allowed me to stop nicotine too at 36 years old... I just didn’t know that’s what I was doing! You don't wanna miss this episode. Click here.

Is sugar addiction even real?

What’s the difference between sugar addiction and emotional eating?

If we’re addicted to sugar, what should we do?

These are all the questions we will answer with Bitten Jonsson, RN, ADDIS/SUGAR Certified and a Sugar Addiction Specialist. I gave her carte blanche to use my own assessment to explain and help you understand addiction.

If you look at the medical definition of addiction… I’m an addict. Throughout my life, I have been addicted to many substances and activities: started with sugar then moved on to drugs and nicotine and then human co-dependency and work. As Bitten described, I have an addictive personality.

But I don’t like the label of addict. To be honest, I don’t like labeling altogether. I find labeling to be very disempowering. When I labeled myself as an addict, which I did in my twenties, it made my addiction worse. I thought I was powerless.... that the substance had more power than I could ever have over my own addiction.

For me, my addictive behaviors are a message from my soul... once I understood this concept of addiction, it allowed me to recover as they say in the word of addiction. Instead of recovery, I say I surrendered.

Surrendering to my addictions created the Going Beyond The Food Method. The Going Beyond The Food Method was born from me hitting rock bottom and seeing the story repeating itself in my patients. It's about shining the light on your possibilities by acknowledging and having compassion for your darkness.

The Going Beyond The Food Method is what healed my sugar addiction at 38 years old. But it also what allowed me to stop nicotine too at 36 years old... I just didn’t know that’s what I was doing!

That you are watching on video or listening on the podcast I hope my vulnerability in sharing my story will help one of you... to see the light and what is possible.

In this episode we discuss

The definition of sugar addiction

A quick tour to your brain - the three types of brain

I also shared my own addiction assessment that Bitten completed

Last episode I talked about a superstar student of the current semester of the Going Beyond The Food Academy is seeing so much results in a short 4–week period that she feels the duty to share our method with people in her life that need it.

She wanted to know if we have an episode of the podcast she could share with people that would encapsulate our approach and what to do to get started… we didn’t have one. Well, that’s not true. We had many that dissected one point but none that recaps our approach at a higher level. One designed for beginners.

How to get started with your transformation by going beyond the food

How not to get overwhelmed with all the information from an online conference like this

The fundamental aspect that you should focus on to bring about permanent change to your life

Last episode, I talked about an article that was published by Huffington Post on September 19th, 2018 that sent shock wave in the world. The article titled “Everything You Know About Obesity Is Wrong” by Micheal Hobbes is controversial... is challenging all of our societal beliefs around obesity all of them.

From obesity is the #1 enemy of health to dieting throws it all in the air... and also explains why we suffer so much when stigmatized with weight issues.

Is it all true? Almost... Although I agree with most certain elements just encourage even more victimization and more suffering. You gotta tune in to this episode! This will rock your world! Click here.

In this episode I discuss

The questions received from the talks of Day 1 of the Going Beyond the Project 2018

How to get started with your transformation by going beyond the food

How not to get overwhelmed with all the information from an online conference like this

The fundamental aspect that you should focus on to bring about permanent change to your life

Last episode, I talked about an article that was published by Huffington Post on September 19th, 2018 that sent shock wave in the world. The article titled “Everything You Know About Obesity Is Wrong” by Micheal Hobbes is controversial... is challenging all of our societal beliefs around obesity all of them.

From obesity is the #1 enemy of health to dieting throws it all in the air... and also explains why we suffer so much when stigmatized with weight issues.

Is it all true? Almost... Although I agree with most certain elements just encourage even more victimization and more suffering. You gotta tune in to this episode! This will rock your world! Click here.

I have learned many lessons in this journey which I’ll be sharing with you in this episode. 7 life lessons I have learned and that have seeped through my whole life.

But I want you to know something... right now!

Body acceptance is possible for all of us. That is, accepting our body for what is. Taking the focus on what your body looks like and instead focusing on what it’s capable of.

Rather than telling yourself you hate the fat on your belly, it’s appreciating the child it created.

Body Neutrality is the proprietary method I teach within the Going Beyond The Food Academy. Lesson 7. The most impactful life-changing module.

Visit https://www.stephaniedodier.com/podcast-episodes/ for complete show notes of every podcast episode

Body neutrality will lead you to:

Overcome black and white thinking

Gain more self-love and compassion

Being more mindful… in all aspects of life

Decrease anxiety, stress, and feeling of hopelessness

Be more motivated to make the right choice

What I’ve foundis that body shaming is the most potent reason why we emotionally eat, binge eat, compulsively eat and obviously, diet.

Last episode, I talked about a fairly common experience among women who want to change yet can’t get started or perhaps have started the process of change and it’s not getting her where she wants to be. It's all about being stuck.

In fact, I break down the stages of changes and why no one in this community is in stage one, which means everyone is engaged in the process of change. You're all in between stages 2-5... And maybe 6.

Moreover, we’re also going to hear from someone who is in stage 4 which is where most of my students are. Ready to engage in stage 5-6!Click here.

You want to change yet you can’t get started or perhaps you’ve started the process of change and it’s not getting you where you want to be?

I hear a version of that everytime I engage with a new client. I mean, I’ve been there myself. There is a part of my life in which I’m there right now.

There is a reason why you are stuck and no, it’s not because something is wrong with you or the program you're on. In fact, the reason is in between your two ears. The solution is in your mind... and your heart.

In this episode, we are going to break down the stages of changes and why no one in this community is in stage one, which means everyone is engaged in the process of change. You're all in between stages 2-5... And maybe 6.

Moreover, we’re also going to hear from someone who is in stage 4 which is where most of my students are. Ready to engage in stage 5-6!

In this episode I discuss

The reason why you're stuck and the actionable strategies to make profound and steady changes in your life

Why you view change as a process of giving something up rather than a means of gaining benefits

Perfection is a goal-killer: What not to expect in the process of making changes

The 6 stages of changes - with focus on stages 1-4 where many women are

Last episode, I talked about what most women in my community usually ask: how to stop binging cycles. First of all, I discussed the definition of binging. In addition, I highlighted how binging cycles happen as well as the brain mechanism behind it - the reason why your brain leads you to binge cycles and where it comes from.

Ultimately, I shared the solution to stop binging cycles. The solution that is within us. If you're one of these women who's asking the same questions, I encourage you to listen in! Click here.

In the case of binge eating, it’s excess eating. It's usually done alone and or hidden from our environment.

My approach, as always, is based on taking responsibility. It’s an empowering model of transformation.

The solution is within us.

If you are looking to blame something out of you to resolve binge... like food, sugar, what people did to you... this is not the right podcast for you.

Feeling empowered resides in the fact that you know you have the power to change things. You can only change what you create. Most of us create the desire to binge... that’s the framework in which we will explore this.

This is only for the women who are ready to transform permanently...

Because transformation CAN only happen when we feel empowered over our problem that we want to transform.

In this episode I discuss

What is Binge Eating?

How binging cycles happen... the brain mechanism behind it.

Why your brain leads you to binge cycle... where does it come from?

The solution to stop binge cycles

Last episode I talked about a very sensitive subject… and let’s say very controversial - food addiction. It’s one of these subjects that get people very polarized. It’s either one way or the other.

I used to see addiction, food addiction being one of the possible addictions, as this black or white subject. For instance, sugar is addictive and should be avoided for the rest of my life. All forms of sugar were dangerous… like viciously dangerous.

But then, I evolved… I opened myself to different viewpoints. Educated myself. Researched. I realized via education and life experience (my own addictions) that it’s not black and white.

So, if you are the same as I was, I highly recommend that you listen to this episode as I share my viewpoints, the facts of research and solution here that we teach at the Going Beyond the Food Academy. Click here.

How the Going Beyond the Food Academy can help you not only as an individual but also as a mother

The reasons why the Going Beyond the Food Academy is different from other weight loss programs

Why we need to stop fearing our emotions

How eating intuitively will help your body seek nutrition naturally

Last episode, I talked about how much is your desire to control your food and weight is really costing you. I was hesitant at first because I know the values and beliefs that many of us have around money and how sensitive it is for many women. However, after months of thinking, I’ve decided to speak publicly.

Cost and money are the #1 reason why women do not take their knowledge to the next level, thus, creating changes and transformation in their lives. Nothing will ever change if we continue doing the same thing that resulted in our current situation. That applies to anything…

If you are one of the women who's hindered by money to be able to create changes and transformation in your life, this episode is for you. Listen up! Click here.

]]>In this special bonus edition of The Beyond the Food Show podcast, I’m sharing a powerful case study that will show you how transforming your relationship to food is not only possible without willpower but also transforming your entire life: kids, partner, work and all!

To kick off this new segment of the podcast, I’m showcasing the story of one of the members of our Academy community, Jessica Tomasko. Jessica is in her 40’s, a mother of 2, wife and a professional who, in her words, says she has spent her whole life binging and dieting. She was desperate, miserable and scared that if nothing changes, she would spend the rest of her life suffering.

Jessica is a source of inspiration for all women. Jessica agreed to do this to impact other women... like you.

I’ve decided to write and speak about this topic of “Cost” after a lot of reflection. I was hesitant because I know the values and beliefs that many of us have around money and how sensitive it is for many women.

After months of thinking, I’ve decided to speak publicly. Cost and money are the #1 reason why women do not take their knowledge to the next level, thus, creating changes and transformation in their lives. Nothing will ever change if we continue doing the same thing that resulted in our current situation. That applies to anything...

The truth is we live in a world that requires an energy exchange of some type when it comes to almost anything including learning. That form of energy is money... the problem with money and eating behaviors is this:

We’ve spent a lot in the past to lose weight, to change eating behaviors, to stop binging, etc... and it didn’t work. You see your weight, body and it’s clearly a fail.

It’s now later in your life... 30-40... with what you believe to be dozens of failure under your belt and you are afraid of spending more. Low self-esteem, low self-confidence drive your belief that you’ll waste your money once more and you can’t justify this to your family, husband... or bank account.

Think about this for a minute: If your car had a problem starting in the morning on your way to work and it made you late. You went to your car mechanic, he quickly fixes the starter, you pay him and you’re on your way with your car operating well. A week later again the car doesn’t want to start... you go back to your mechanic, quick fixes on the starter and the car starts again. All seems good... for 2 weeks. Again, Monday morning 2 weeks post-last repair the car still doesn’t want to start... What would you do?

1- say to yourself… the car problem... it’s not worth me paying again for it. I’ve spent enough money trying to fix the problem already... I’ll just give up and walk to work instead. There’s no point!

OR

2- say to yourself... maybe my mechanic isn’t good... maybe he isn’t really fixing the problem. Maybe the quick fix isn’t the answer... I’ll try a different mechanic and ask to take a different approach? I need to have consistency and be able to start my car daily.

Say you picked #2, you go to a new mechanic, who, instead of using old ways of car fixing, use a diagnostic tool. He finds out that the issue isn’t with the starter... instead it’s your engine. Would you give a shoot to fix the engine or say... well it’s too scary, I'll just stay with a car that doesn’t start 1 out of 2 days?

Are you a people-pleaser? Where did that come from? How did you become one?

These are the questions you have to ask yourself to be able to know how to stop being a people-pleaser.

But, what is a people-pleaser? A people-pleaser is one of the nicest and most helpful people you know. They never say “no.” You can always count on them for a favor. In fact, they spend a great deal of time doing things for other people. They get their work done, help others with their work, make all the plans, and are always there for family members and friends. That’s the mother who says “I don’t have time to implement this change in my life because I have to take their activities and competition on the weekend. It’s just doesn’t fit in my schedule.

So far this sounds like a good thing. Right?

Unfortunately, it can be an extremely unhealthy pattern of behavior. It leads to shying away from expressing themselves, and ultimately, not taking care of themselves...

Is it possible that talking about food in an attempt to resolve food issues could be the wrong approach?

Is it possible that the more we focus on food the more we cause ourselves to have issues with food?

Today, we will look at a case study. Case study is defined as a process or record of research in which detailed consideration is given to the development of a particular person, group, or situation over a period of time.

The case study presented today is not a case of research, instead, a clinical observation of one of the students of the Going Beyond The Food Academy program.

In this case study, we look at one client journey to see how The Going Beyond The Food Method was effective in resolving the food issues. This student is Carol and she is a typical student we see coming through the Going Beyond The Food Academy with typical results.

Hope this helps you know if the Going Beyond The Food Academy program is for you or not.

Is it Time to Stop Dieting?Quiz: Is It Time to Try the Non-food Approach? Is it Time to Stop Dieting?Thu, 09 Aug 2018 10:00:00 +0000Is It Time to Stop Dieting?

"Have I ever done anything else than dieting? Could it be why I'm constantly failing? Should I be trying something else? Is it time to stop dieting?"

Do you ask yourself these questions, too? If you do, this episode if FOR YOU!

As we've all heard Einstein's famous line, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

So, perhaps it's time you try the non-food/non-diet approach. But what is it?

Let's imagine your car's engine light starts blinking. What would you do? Would you, A- Open the dashboard, take the light bulb out and say to yourself, "Hah! I've resolved the problem. There's no more engine light blinking." Or B- Will say to yourself, "There's something going on. Let me get into my mechanic and have him assess the issue to fix the root cause of the blinking engine light."

I want you to think of dieting as situation A. Dieting, restricting anything about food is like taking the light bulb out of the dashboard. You're controlling the input of food in your body. It doesn't solve the problem. All it does is stop the light from blinking.

So, how do we go about addressing the reason why we crave food?

Visit https://www.stephaniedodier.com/podcast-episodes/ for complete show notes of every podcast episode

In this episode I discuss

The reason why you should stop dieting and try the non-food approach

An informal assessment you can use to know where you are in your personal journey towards your relationship to food

Why the traditional approach does not work and what you should do instead

The Beyond the Food Method and why it has the power to transform your relationship to food

Last episode was a beast of an episode... likely one that will upset many... but also one that will help many. I answered a listener question, "How do you deal with your weight struggle?" At first, I’ve got to be honest, I took offense… then I reflected. Why is this offensive to me?

]]>"Have I ever done anything else than dieting? Could it be why I'm constantly failing? Should I be trying something else? Is it time to stop dieting?"

Do you ask yourself these questions, too? If you do, this episode if FOR YOU!

As we've all heard Einstein's famous line, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

So, perhaps it's time you try the non-food/non-diet approach. But what is it?

Let's imagine your car's engine light starts blinking. What would you do? Would you, A- Open the dashboard, take the light bulb out and say to yourself, "Hah! I've resolved the problem. There's no more engine light blinking." Or B- Will say to yourself, "There's something going on. Let me get into my mechanic and have him assess the issue to fix the root cause of the blinking engine light."

I want you to think of dieting as situation A. Dieting, restricting anything about food is like taking the light bulb out of the dashboard. You're controlling the input of food in your body. It doesn't solve the problem. All it does is stop the light from blinking.

So, how do we go about addressing the reason why we crave food?

Visit https://www.stephaniedodier.com/podcast-episodes/ for complete show notes of every podcast episode

In this episode I discuss

The reason why you should stop dieting and try the non-food approach

An informal assessment you can use to know where you are in your personal journey towards your relationship to food

Why the traditional approach does not work and what you should do instead

The Beyond the Food Method and why it has the power to transform your relationship to food

Last episode was a beast of an episode... likely one that will upset many... but also one that will help many. I answered a listener question, "How do you deal with your weight struggle?" At first, I’ve got to be honest, I took offense… then I reflected. Why is this offensive to me?

Stephanie, how do you deal with your weight struggle?

This was the starting point of this episode. A podcast listener submitted this question, and I sat on it for weeks.

People who say harming yourself by not dieting?

So, this is a beast of an episode... likely one that will upset many... but also one that will help many. I knew that in writing this episode, a hundred one women would have their AH AH moment that would enable them to start their own transformation.

I asked industry leaders, women who have successfully changed how they relate to food, what they did. It's simple yet so powerful tips and advice from women like you.

Most of the time "life-changing experiences" are generated by mindset changes not from food. The challenge is that we are being taught by weight loss and diet industry that changes will come from food and exercise. The truth is: IT'S NOT the case. That's why we struggle.

I want you to end the struggle, stop feeling frustrated with your body, and no more anxiety. Can you do that? Change your mindset.

So many of us have been using that motivational "stick" for years... maybe even decades... without really being successful. We keep trying and say to ourselves: If I can be tougher on myself, it would work..." Or "I'm just too soft... if only I could be tougher"… and we keep trying.

Where the belief "I need to be tougher on myself" come from

How your parents or caregivers impact the way you deal with your own behavior changes

What science says about the behavior of self-loathing and self-criticism

The real effective methods in behavioral change that you should be adopting

Last episode, we had Steven Ozanich on the show, author of The Great Pain Deception where he shared with us the work of Dr. Sarno and TMS approach to pain... particularly, low back pain. It was a very insightful discussion as it revealed a concept that is not very popular. Here's the thing... this approach to healing pain requires no surgery, medication or expensive treatment.

Chances are you are one of the 31 million Americans experience low back pain at any given time. Low back pain is the single leading cause of disability worldwide, according to the Global Burden of Disease 2010.

When I asked my community members what the top reasons were why they eat beyond hunger, chronic pain came in second. That feedback motivated me to share my own journey with pain in episode 138 "Things I'm afraid to tell you" but I hadn’t share with you how I healed my low back... that's what I'm going to tell you in today's episode.

Steven Ozanich, author of The Great Pain Deception will share with us the work of Dr. Sarno and TMS approach to pain... particularly, low back pain.

Here's the thing... this approach to healing pain requires no surgery, medication or expensive treatment. The solution is within you right now...

In this episode I discuss

What TMS is and how it could possibly change the way you interact with chronic pain

Last episode, I answered a question submitted by a community member, Kacie, about food anxiety by looking at how we create food anxiety and what we could do instead to still care for our health via our nutrition but not stress about it! If you haven't checked it out, go ahead and click here.

How to get over a lot of the food fear we have developed over the years of dieting or partaking in nutrition education or food philosophy diet?

What about fructose and fruit... should I feel like I'm killing myself by eating an orange?

Or what about eating a croissant with white flour... why do I feel so terrible about myself for wanting one?

Today, we answer Kacie's question about food anxiety by looking at how we create the food anxiety and what we could do instead to still care for our health via our nutrition but not stress about it!

Last episode was a vulnerable one. I shared with you the things I'm afraid to tell you. I took me time to put this episode together because of me being afraid of your rejection... being afraid of losing you. But this 'things I'm afraid to tell you' episode is for you, for me, for us to have a deeper more meaningful relationship. So that I continue my own healing journey and that you do yours.

Afraid of your rejection... being afraid of losing you.

This is my left brain fighting my right brain. I know sharing will be nothing but positive and will make us closer. You, the listener, the reader, the follower... but at the same time, my left brain is telling me: Are you crazy?... You can't tell them that! What are they going to think of you!... NO!

So, I have been having this internal battle for some time now and I took a leap a few weeks ago in show 135 and share with you my body image challenges and publicly shared a picture of me in a bathing suit... and I survived. Actually, I thrived. Your support, feedback, comments were awesome. Not one negative word... I love you guys!

So, today's episode is a continuity of this... fueled by you and your reaction to my sharing my body image challenges. The impact that me sharing my truth had on some of you... the while #bodyneutrality movement we have created. The empowerment of you showing in putting your first bathing suit on for 30 years, or you that went to your family party, which you refuse to go at first, and then decided to go and had a wonderful time with your family or you who for the first time wore a tank top in Texas summer instead of a cardigan... and there are dozens and dozens more stories that came out of me sharing my body images challenges.

So, this 'things I'm afraid to tell you' episode is for you, for me for us to have a deeper more meaningful relationship. So that I continue my own healing journey and that you do yours.

I know that rejection is a possibility and that's ok!

In this episode I discuss

The things I'm afraid to tell you and why it scares me to share these you with you

Why taking time for self-care is not easy for me even if I know how important it is

The impact of being raised in scarcity has had on me which may resonate with you, too

How I view the things that challenge me and how you should view your personal challenges, too

Last episode, I talked about one of the most common objections I face with new clients and patients - “I just don’t have the time to xxxx”. To answer this objection, I shared 4 important concepts to help you reframe your relationship to time so that you can self-care. You'll also discover in this episode why shouldn’t you be really proud of having the “busy badge” – Is this you? If yes, then, you shouldn't miss listening to this episode! Click here.

One of the most common objections I face with new clients and patients is "I just don’t have the time to xxxx". Fill in the xxx with any activity that is exclusively focused on you or your well-being.

You feel like you don’t have the time to get IT all done let alone self-care... seems so far-fetched. How to find time for self-care, movement, and relationship and improve yourself.

Here's the thing... if you, just like me years ago, you think you don’t have the time to care for yourself and health, think again because it’s not a question of having the time; it’s a question of making it.

This one single realization could be the key to finding the time to care for yourself and maybe, just maybe have the time for self-improvement.

In this episode I discuss

The 4 important concepts to help you reframe your relationship to time so that you can self-care

Why shouldn't you be really proud of having the "busy badge" - Is this you?

The real reason why you're not making time for self-care

Where you should really put your self-worth and value to know where you should spend your time

How perfectionism affects your decisions and life overall

How you should really view time to achieve your goals and change your life

Last episode was dedicated to those women who think that being perfect is still the best strategy in their attempt to reach their goal; those women who have been trying to be perfect and are tired of striving for perfection. If you are one of those women, I highly recommend you listen to this episode because here, I will teach you why being perfect shouldn’t be your goal and what you should aim for instead. And most importantly, the 3-step process to overcome the need to be perfect! Click here.

If you have been trying to be perfect and are tired of striving for perfection... You too need to listen to this audio.

For years, I've attempted to be perfect in all parts of my life... work, relationship and weight. Did it work? Well in part: Work: yes; Home: yes... Relationship: no; Weight: no

And then one day, I realized via a lot of self-development work that I was perfect as I was right then and there... now. It was a journey to unlearn the thinking pattern but it worked.

That’s what I'll share with you today: Why being perfect shouldn’t be your goal and what to aim for instead. And lastly, the 3-step process to overcome the need to be perfect!

In this episode I discuss

Who must give you permission to be imperfect?

What to do when you feel fear of being found out?

Where the feeling of fear of being imperfect come from and how they impact our relationship to food and life

The 3-Step Process to Body Neutrality - the bridge between shaming and positivity

Self-Acceptance

Cease Comparison - Stop comparing yourself to others.

Being Brave - Burry the picture of the perfect _____ (insert your word) and uncover yourself!

Last episode, I talked about the photo of myself in a bathing suit that I posted on Instagram last week and wrote a short post on my thoughts… Never expecting what happens next. This opened up a whole new discussion on body image.

And in this episode, I talked about Body Neutrality. It is a liberating new concept in which you accept your body for what it is without judgment and hoping for better. Not good, aka body positivity; NOT bad, body shaming. In the middle. Neutral. Grateful for what your body does for you without wanting to brag about it. Curious how it can actually help you?

Never expecting what happens next.

Body Neutrality is a concept we teach in the Going Beyond the Food Academy. It’s a liberating new concept in which you accept your body for what it is without judgment and hoping for better. Not good, aka body positivity; NOT bad, body shaming. In the middle. Neutral. Grateful for what your body does for you without wanting to brag about it.

For most women, body shaming is what they have learned from their own mothers or families and what they are being told by social media so that's all they know. That's all I knew.

I used to swim with a big t-shirt and shorts because I accepted that my body was ugly and I needed to hide it.

Body neutrality is wearing the bathing suit in which you feel comfortable going swimming and having fun. Living your life without feeling shame for your body. It's acceptance without judgment.

Today, we are going to break down this concept and how you can start being neutral with your body so that you can live your life like everyone else!

Last episode, I answered a question from Instagram, "Why do I continue to do things when I know they’re going to cause me grief?" In this episode, I talked about the powerful role your subconscious mind plays in all your food decisions, how important is self-love in decision-making towards doing things that can cause you grief and why your “Why” is so important. You don't wanna miss this. This might just change your life! Click here.

I 've asked myself this question for years and thought something was deeply wrong with me. I wasn't able to stop eating chips... It's like my mind was possessed by someone else. I would do it knowingly I was to regret it after and wished I didn’t do it. Why is that?

I found the answer to my question and I felt so relieved that it wasn’t actually something wrong with me but instead it was because of my subconscious mind and that I could fix it!

That’s the same question Rain sent me... Ready? Let's dive into why we do things we know will not help us achieve our goals and what we can do about it.

In this episode I discuss

The powerful role your subconscious mind plays in all your food decisions

How your current situation is serving you in some way – Is it the ‘more’ beneficial way?

How important is self-love in decision-making towards doing things that can cause you grief?

Last episode, I discussed most women experience today - night time eating problem. I talked about the causes of nighttime eating and find a solution to address this problem.

From the bottom of your heart, you want to make a change. You are really tired of X and enough is enough. You make the decision to change X negative habit and start doing X instead.

In our world it maybe about stopping overeating… or eating at night. You want it so bad but after a couple days it gets harder and harder... And then, you don't follow thru.

Are you aware that not doing what you say you want to do is generally due to what I call Self-Sabotage?

In this episode I discuss

The 5 Steps on How to Follow Through and Make You Stick with It

Understand that it’s normal to not follow through at first. It’s self-sabotage!

Accept and be Compassionate - to not fall in the downward spiral of shame and guilt

Understand the Intention behind what you’re trying to change that needs follow through. Is it from a place of lack or abundance?

Recognizing yourself when you actually do it – Do you positively reinforce yourself?

Prioritize Yourself. Make time for yourself in the spirit of change for your own self-improvement and development

Last episode, I answered Emma's question, "I can’t figure out why I overeat and it’s so frustrating." Most women have a good handle on food. More often than not, we make the best choices possible in selecting food and determining how much we should eat. Yet, we still overeat despite knowing the reason why we do it. But, is the reason that we are thinking the real cause of our overeating? You are probably thinking, “If it’s not the real reason, then how do I figure out why I overeat?”

In this coaching episode, you will learn how to find the root cause of overeating. This is very important because only you can know what they truly are. In fact, the answer is easy and it’s inside of you. There are tools to help you find this answer…

I highly encourage you to listen to this insightful episode and be empowered. You have the key! Click here.

All intermingle with the word energy. The food we eat brighten us than just calories, but also an energy level that contributes to our mood, mindset, and thoughts. Ancient medicine refers to these energy center as chakra and modern medicine as our endocrine system. Dr. Deena Minich teaches us on to use color in our food choice to balance our mind and emotions. What if the solution is to eat the energy we want to become?

Chakra

Chakra is derived from Sanskrit and essentially means "wheel." It relates back to Ayurvedic medicine and many mystical East Indian traditions in which they noticed that there were a lot of activities in the body in certain places. If you look in Western medicine, you would see that the Chakra system is very much aligned with the neuroendocrine system.

We've got the Root Chakra or the Adrenal gland, the place of fleeing or being frightened. Then, the Sacral Chakra which is all about reproduction that is the ovaries and testes. The Solar Plexus Chakra is the pancreas which is an endocrine organ that fuses out a lot of enzymes that help us digest and transform. Another one, the Heart Chakra which is connected to the thymus. The Throat Chaka is connected to the thyroid gland. Then, we have the Third Eye Chakra which is the pituitary gland which hangs in the middle of the head. We also have a small gland called the pineal gland which I associate with the Crown Chakra. It's the center of light and how our body regulates light in the finer energies of the day, of the seasons, of the planet. Dr. Deanna Minich calls them the 7 systems of health.

Color

When people eat a certain way, it separates them from other people. Diets seem to be dividing. They are not unifying. What is unifying no matter what our eating preference is? Color is a unifying force. Color is creativity. It's around us and serves as an environmental stimulus. It impacts our physiology and psychology. Color is physical and psychological. It's powerful and has the ability to change people's patterns.

Hence, if we eat food of different colors, our different bodily systems will catch on with the vibration of that color and feel better as well.
